Comparing brain activity in real and virtual reality hand tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain works when you do hand tasks in real life versus in a virtual reality headset. It may help researchers understand how virtual reality can be used for hand therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have normal vision or vision corrected with glasses or contacts.
- You can understand simple instructions.
- You have never had a seizure.
- You have not done a virtual reality hand task study in the last 3 months.

This trial tests a home-based virtual reality system designed to help people who have had a stroke improve hand and arm function. The system uses games and activities to guide your movements, and you can use it at home with or without a caregiver's help.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve hand function and daily living for people with multiple sclerosis. It may help if you have trouble with fine hand movements.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises or task-based training help improve arm and hand use in teenagers with cerebral palsy. It compares two types of upper-limb therapy to see which is more effective.
This study tests a new rehabilitation approach that combines virtual reality (a computer-simulated environment) with brain-computer interface technology (which reads your brain signals) to help people with functional neurological disorder. The goal is to see if this training can improve movement and daily functioning.
This study explores how people perceive the space around their affected arm or hand after a condition called 'exclusion' (partial loss of awareness or use). It uses virtual reality to test this, which might lead to better therapies.
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
